27、te(女人气的) male stars.

29、 pop culture, Fan Xiaoqing, an expert on South Korean movies at the Communication University of China, told China Daily.8However, the “femininity” of males isnt a recent social phenomenon.

30、, especially among aristocrats and scholars, according to China Daily.Indeed, the debate about effeminate male stars has been going on for a while.In July, Hong Kong singer-actor Nicholas Tse said during the singing reality show China New Singing he feels tired of seeing effeminate male stars.“It is

31、nt that theyre not good, but we should discover ourselves, rather than imitate. Men should get their hormones back,” he said during the show.His opinion was shared by Chinese director Feng Xiaogang. “Some young actors are feminine and they should be more manly,” he said during the Shanghai Internati

32、onal Film Festival in June 2017.However, others have a more open mind toward this phenomenon. “Its stereotypical（刻板的)to think all male stars should be masculine, like Jackie Chan. As society diversifies, there are more options for fans to choose from,” Liang Yurou, 19, a college student from Fujian

33、province, told China Daily.Deng Xiquan, head of the Youth Research Institute at the China Youth and Children Research Center, believes such a phenomenon is completely natural.“Its only a central issue temporarily and will be replaced by a new youth culture at some stage. If a man has feminine beauty

34、, this doesnt mean that he lacks responsibility,” Deng told China Daily.Dengs opinion was echoed by the Peoples Daily. “A mans strength should be judged on the basis of their inner qualities not their physical appearance.” it wrote.28.

35、ge?A. CCTV was widely praised for inviting several young, effeminate male stars.B.

39、in blood flow from the brain to the stomach. Although this sounds plausible, it doesnt really make much sense. If this were the case, why wouldnt we feel sleepy after having a large breakfast or after dinner?People may argue that there are some elements that cause sleepiness within food. They think

40、there are some foods that may make you feel a little sleepy. In addition, they believe drinking alcohol may also cause sleepiness. In most cases, this is not what contributes to sleepiness after lunch, however.In fact, it has more to do with the natural timing of an increasing 10tendency towards sle

41、ep. There are two phenomena that contribute to this: the sleep drive and the circadian rhythm(生理节奏) .The sleep drive is due to the gradual build-up of a chemical within the brain called adenosine. The longer a person stays awake, the more adenosine accumulates, leading to an increasing desire for sl

42、eep. This reaches its peak right before bedtime, but it is also higher in the afternoon compared to the morning.The second process that contributes indirectly to sleepiness is the circadian rhythm. It is actually the pattern of an alert signal. It increases throughout the day to keep us awake and ac

43、t against the increasing levels of adenosine. There is a dip (下降 ) in this pattern in the early afternoon, typically 7-9 hours after waking up.
